PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inner plug which enables a desired number of tablets to be sufficiently taken out of a container easily with a simple structure and at a lower cost.SOLUTION: The inner plug for tablet containers made of a resin is constituted of an outer cylinder assembled onto the internal surface of a mouth tube part, a working part provided in the outer cylinder and a support piece for movably supporting the working part. The working part normally keeps a clearance in between with the internal surface of the outer cylinder enough to block the passage of a tablet while being supported with the support piece so strongly as to discharge no tablet even under a dead load which may be applied by turning the container downward. When the clearance between the outer cylinder and the working part is expanded by pressing the working part with a finger or the like, the tablets are discharged outside the container through the clearance. As the pressing of the working part is released, the support piece works to return the working part to the original position, thereby stopping the discharge of the tablets.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】容器から所望の数の錠剤を過不足なく容易に取り出すことができる中栓を、簡易な構成で、かつ低コストで提供すること。【解決手段】錠剤容器用の中栓を次のように構成した。中栓は樹脂製で、口筒部内面に組み付く外筒と、外筒内に設けた作動部と、作動部を移動可能に支持する支持片とから構成し、作動部は通常外筒内面との間で錠剤が通過しない間隙で、かつ容器を下に向けて錠剤の自重が加えられても錠剤が排出されることない強度で支持片により支持されており、作動部を指などで押圧して、外筒と作動部の間の隙間を拡大させると、その間隙を通して錠剤が容器外へ排出されるように構成した。また作動部の押圧を解除すると作動部は支持片で元の位置に復帰され、錠剤の排出が停止されるように構成した。【選択図】図1
